In Japan there was a national outcry when a guide dog and its owner were killed by a reversing non-electric vehicle whose driver had used a pause control to deactivate its sound emitter.
If you aren't used to not having the sounds, it can throw your rhythm off when you first deactivate the sounds.
It uses Near Field Communication technology to do whatever I tell it to send text messages, activate and deactivate my phone's flashlight, transmit a URL and a sound effect, etc.
(The alarm can be muted or put to sleep via the corresponding app, or you can long press on the tag itself to deactivate it — all of which sounds like a fair bit of hassle).
For instance, when a key is inserted into the ignition of the 2002 S.U.V., Bob Dylan's "Just Like a Woman" plays over the vehicle's quadraphonic sound system, which cannot be deactivated.
To do so you just manually steer, overriding the system and deactivating the steering control with a boop-boop sound.
The interesting ROC analysis shows that, on average, IC neurons (with non-monotonic RLFs? unclear, but Figure 6e suggests it may be all 38 isolated neurons) had slightly less sensitivity to changing sound level when the contra IC was deactivated.
The group, which had several other complaints, said it was "disappointed that the driver is permitted to turn off the sound" because it "in effect, allows drivers to deactivate this important safety feature and thereby endanger pedestrians, especially those who are blind".
By deactivating one IC in guinea pig with cooling or microdialysis of procaine, and recording neural activity to sound in the other, we found that commissural input influences fundamental aspects of auditory processing.
Others deactivate their accounts.
"Deactivate," was number nine.
